ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

i think $15 is at this point actually more than the de facto norwegian minimum wage, but that's mainly because the NOK is hella depressed at the moment

I think that if you are going g to take micro and macro 101 you need to go all in and complete at least some advance courses so that you understand that econ 101 gives you models that only work in a vacuum, and thus don't actually work at all.

look, if that were true then we wouldn't be basing our entire national economicpolicy on them

You misunderstand. I want to be able to claim an income of 15 USD but even with all the tax tricks I pulled I am still above that treshold. (But I'm already close to 50 percent of my actual monetary expenses being claimed as deductibles for various reason. :v:)

Oh no, we base it off of models in the advanced courses at the University of Chicago, not just the intro courses.

Front loading 2/3 of my Masters tuition into one fiscal year and paying that tuition with money that I received through non-taxable means, e.g. capital gains that stayed under the capital gain treshold intended to prevent another tax trick. :smuggo:

Still have to readjust my withholding though, which would probably result in getting about 33 percent more net income this year due to aforementioned deductible scheming.

Yeah, as an econ major this was my first thought when hitting actual coursework but evidently is a much rarer realization for others cuz they bought into it hook line and sinker.

Because models are easy and make you feel like you have unlocked the secrets of the economy. It is much easier to pretend that everything builds off of those models than realizing that the models are more like training wheels than foundations.
